Earlier this week, Samsung finally released the One UI 6.1 update for flagship phones launched prior to 2023. It's a limited rollout as the update is only available in Korea as of May 3, and Samsung has even paused the rollout for the Galaxy S22 series due to unforeseen issues.

Still, with the update released for at least one market, we can expect the rollout to pick up pace in the coming days. Galaxy Z Fold 4, Fold 3, Flip 4, Z Flip 3, Galaxy S22, Galaxy S21, and Galaxy Tab S8 owners around the world should soon be able to download One UI 6.1.

If you own one of the mentioned devices, what features, changes and improvements can you expect once you update to One UI 6.1? More importantly: will you get all the Galaxy AI features with One UI 6.1?

The official changelog below has the answer you're looking for. The changelog for these devices is very similar to that of the Galaxy S23, Galaxy Z Fold 5, and Galaxy Z Flip 5. The major difference is that the Galaxy S21 and other devices launched in the same year only get the Circle to Search AI feature.

A few non-AI changes and improvements may also be missing even if they are mentioned in the changelog, but for the most part, everything listed below should be available on the Galaxy Z Fold 4, Fold 3, Flip 4, Z Flip 3, S22, S21, and Tab S8.

The post Here are all One UI 6.1 features and improvements for 2022 and 2021 Galaxy flagships appeared first on SamMobile.

Samsung's unexpected Galaxy Tab S6 Lite 2024 refresh is slowly reaching more markets. The company has just launched the tablet in Malaysia, and it is now available for just over $315.

The Galaxy Tab S6 Lite (2024) was announced in March, but global availability varies by market. In Malaysia, the tablet is available with 128GB of storage and costs RM1,499.

In case you missed the news back in March, the Galaxy Tab S6 Lite (2024) is a refresh of a 2020 tablet. Samsung refreshed it first in 2022, and this year, it did it again.

The latest model is virtually identical to the previous ones, except that it ships with newer One UI 6.1 firmware and is powered by a more up-to-date Exynos 1280 SoC.

The old and refreshed components are wrapped in the same lightweight and slim durable metal unibody, and the 10.4-inch TFT LCD is surrounded by uniform bezels all around.

S Pen productivity on a budget

One of the main attractions of the Galaxy Tab S6 Lite (2024) is that it offers access to DeX (on-device) and the S Pen for a relatively low price.

Samsung DeX can turn the Galaxy Tab S6 Lite into a lightweight productivity machine, especially when paired with a keyboard. And One UI features such as Multi Window and Pop-Up View elevate the tablet's productivity potential even higher.

The S Pen is included in the box, which is good news for users who want to leverage the Notes app's handwriting capabilities or sketch and join drawing contests in apps like PENUP.

Thanks to the Exynos 1280 chip, the Galaxy Tab S6 Lite (2024) can also do some light gaming, but nothing too demanding. It's a decent budget tablet with DeX and productivity tools.

In Malaysia, the Galaxy Tab S6 Lite comes with 128GB of storage and 4GB of RAM, and it's available in two color options: Mint and Gray. A more powerful option with an S Pen and on-device DeX would be the Galaxy Tab S9 FE, but it has a higher price. The Galaxy Tab S6 Lite (2024) is a more budget-oriented tablet with some features that punch above its weight class.

Google has announced that it has started rolling out version M124 of ChromeOS on the Stable channel. The latest version of the operating system brings five new features to Samsung Galaxy Chromebooks: Faster Split Screen Setup, support for Wi-Fi QoS, increased maximum size of the mouse pointer, Fast Pair support for mice, and a redesigned settings menu. Let us take a deeper look at each of those features.

Faster Split Screen Setup

As you might know, ChromeOS allows you to use two applications simultaneously by arranging them side-by-side on the screen. With the new feature, once you snap or lock a window on one half of the display, the OS will show you an overview of all the open applications on the other half of the screen. You can then choose the app that you want to use on the other side. Alternatively, you can choose applications from the shelf to use on the other half of the display.

Support for Wi-Fi QoS

ChromeOS M124 brings support for Wi-Fi Quality of Service (QoS), which, according to Google, “ensures better traffic prioritization of video conferencing and gaming applications on congested Wi-Fi networks” and as a result “users can experience smoother video play with less buffering.” The company says that this feature will not be available for managed users initially.

Increased maximum size of mouse pointer

ChromeOS has been offering people the ability to adjust the size of the mouse pointer for quite a while now. Well, the latest version of the OS offers mouse pointers in even bigger sizes. According to Google, “This can be helpful for people who have low vision, for teachers who want students to follow along during a lesson while presenting, for people who are presenting on a video call, or if you just want to have a larger mouse cursor.”

Fast Pair support for mice

ChromeOS features Fast Pair for Bluetooth. However, it is available only for certain types of devices, and the mouse isn’t one of them. Well, that’s finally changing. Google says that Fast Pair will work with mice with ChromeOS M124. It means that now when you bring a compatible Bluetooth mouse near a Chromebook, ChromeOS will show you the option to connect and pair with it.

Redesigned settings menu

According to 9To5Google, version M124 of ChromeOS also brings a redesigned settings menu. The publication says that it now features a Material You theme and offers a split-screen view, which makes it look like a settings menu of Android on a tablet and offers a better user experience.

Google says that “This update and the features associated with it, will be progressively rolling out over the coming days” and that “Your device may not immediately be eligible for this update.” To check for the ChromeOS M124 update manually, go to Time » Settings » About ChromeOS » Check for updates.

After a few months of waiting, Samsung's 2021 and 2022 flagship phones have finally started getting the highly anticipated One UI 6.1 update with Galaxy AI features. Yesterday, Samsung began the One UI 6.1 rollout for the Galaxy Z3 and Z4 lineups, the Galaxy S21 series, and the Galaxy S22 trio of 2022 flagships.

At the moment, the One UI 6.1 update is available only in Korea, but it should reach more markets soon, even though Samsung may have halted the update for the Galaxy S22 due to alleged boot issues.

In any case, this firmware release brings many new features and at least one under-the-hood change you need to be aware of if you're a latecomer to One UI 6.1 and are now waiting for this fresh release.

Without further ado, here are the first things you should do once you get One UI 6.1 on your 2021 or 2022 high-end phone.

Bring back Notification Categories

One of the One UI 6.1 update's quirks is that it hides the Notification Categories menu, preventing users from managing notification types on the go.

As you probably know, the brilliant Notification Categories feature lets One UI users choose which notification types they can receive from apps individually. For example, it lets you turn off miscellaneous and marketing notifications for apps while keeping other, more important notification types enabled.

More so, this feature lets users manage notification types on the fly by tapping and holding a notification they don't like and turning it off with just a few screen taps.

Although this feature is now hidden in One UI 6.1, it still exists, and you can bring it back. To do this, open the Settings app, access “Notifications,” go to “Advanced settings,” and tap the “Manage notification categories for each app” toggle ON.

Beware the missing Samsung gestures

One other change you need to be aware of once you update your phone to One UI 6.1 is that Samsung navigation gestures are gone. The only remaining options are on-screen nav buttons and the arguably superior Google navigation gestures.

However, if you prefer Samsung gestures and you're actively using them, you won't be able to once you update to One UI 6.1. But fortunately, there is a way to re-enable them.

You can bring Samsung gestures back through the NavStar Good Lock module, regardless of whether or not you're in a market where Good Lock is supported. Check out our full guide for more details on how to use Samsung gestures in One UI 6.1.

Try these Galaxy AI features

On the more enjoyable side of things, the One UI 6.1 update brings Galaxy AI to your older flagship phone. For 2022 Galaxy flagships, the AI suite consists of almost everything that debuted with the Galaxy S24 series, except for Instant Slow Mo inside the Gallery app.

For 2021 flagships, things look a bit sadder, as it seems like there's only one Galaxy AI feature available for the Galaxy Z Fold 3, Z Flip 3, and Galaxy S21 series, and that is Circle to Search.

Once you get One UI 6.1, you'll probably want to try some Galaxy AI tools before others. We recommend taking Generative Wallpaper, Generative Edit, and Circle to Search for a spin.

• To access Generative Edit, pinch the home screen, go to “Wallpaper and style,” tap “Change wallpapers,” select “Generative” under the Creative category, and start generating AI wallpapers based on keywords.
• To use Generative Edit, open the Gallery app, select an image you want to edit, tap the pencil-shaped button, and then press the Generative AI icon that looks like a couple of stars on a blue gradient background. Check our review for all you need to know about Generative AI.
• To use Circle to Search, simply tap and hold the home button/gesture handle and then circle around or tap objects on the screen to view relevant web searches. It's that simple.

Galaxy AI brings a few other tools you may try, albeit they are focused more on productivity. As long as you are using a 2022 flagship model with One UI 6.1, you can summarize articles in Samsung Internet and Samsung Notes, use the new AI-powered Interpreter, translate calls on the fly, and even change the tone of your messages with Chat Assist.

Lastly, you should keep in mind that you can manage most of these new Galaxy AI features individually by opening the Settings app, accessing “Advanced features,” and tapping “Advanced intelligence.”

The new Samsung TV lineup for 2024 brought with it massive discounts for the 2023 series. Prospective buyers who don't mind saving a couple of thousand dollars by buying a 2023 model are in for a treat, as they can now buy the Neo QLED 4K QN90C model and save up to a whopping 54%.

Thanks to a new limited-time discount on the QN90C 4K, the bigger the TV you buy, the more money you save:

• Buy the 55-inch Neo QLED QN90C for $1,199 and save $800.
• Buy the 65-inch Neo QLED QN90C for $1,599 and save $1,200.
• Buy the 75-inch Neo QLED QN90C for $1,999 and save $1,300.
• Buy the 85-inch Neo QLED QN90C for $2,199 and save $2,600.

Samsung's Neo QKED QN90C TV boasts advanced features such as a Mini LED backlight with thousands of dimming zones, a very bright 4K QLED panel with Neo Quantum HDR+, a refresh rate of up to 120Hz, and low latency for gaming.

The QN90C also sports a SolarCell Remote and supports Gaming Hub and Samsung TV Plus. And in terms of audio, it features a 4.2.2-channel speaker setup, Adaptive Sound+, Q-Symphony support, and Dolby Atmos. The QN90C supports the latest Tizen OS version, which has a more modern UI layout and a refreshed Settings menu.

As for the 2023 vs 2024 lineup, what you're missing out on by buying an earlier 2023 model consists mostly of AI-driven image processing and upscaling. The 2024 Neo QLED TVs supposedly offer better image processing through AI, but make no mistake: the 2023 versions still look fantastic a year after their release.

Hit the buy button below and buy the QN90C at a massive discount while the deal lasts.

Earlier this week, Samsung started rolling out the One UI 6.1 update to flagship smartphones launched in 2021 and 2022. The Galaxy S22 series is on the list of devices getting One UI 6.1, but it appears that Samsung may have halted the rollout because of errors some users have faced after updating their Galaxy S22, S22+, or S22 Ultra.

The rollout has reportedly been paused because some Galaxy S22 units may fail to boot or unlock after the update has been installed. However, users on the Samsung Community forums in Korea, the only market where One UI 6.1 has been released for now, don’t seem to have run into any issues themselves.

Users who haven't already updated to One UI 6.1 may want to wait

Furthermore, Samsung hasn’t officially confirmed that it has paused the rollout nor acknowledged any issues, so it's not fully confirmed that the update has been taken off the air.

Still, Galaxy S22, S22+, and S22 Ultra owners who haven't already updated to One UI 6.1 might want to wait for more information to come out before proceeding with the installation.

In fact, Galaxy S21, Z Fold 4, Fold 3, Flip 4, and Flip 3 owners may also want to stay on One UI 6.0 for the time being, as boot or unlock issues are not uncommon with major software updates and the fix often involves factory resetting affected devices.

Since the One UI 6.1 update for pre-2023 Galaxy devices has not been released outside Korea yet, Samsung should be able to get things under control before the situation gets out of hand. However, this could mean that the update will be delayed by a few days or even weeks.

We'll let you know when we learn more, so stay tuned.

The post One UI 6.1 rollout for Galaxy S22 possibly halted to address boot issues appeared first on SamMobile.

The Galaxy S24 series brought One UI 6.1, and one of the highlights of the new software is Galaxy AI, a suite of AI-powered features that come in very handy in day-to-day life.

Last month, the company rolled out One UI 6.1 to its flagship smartphones and tablets from last year, including the Galaxy Z Fold 5, Galaxy Z Flip 5, Galaxy S23 series, and the Galaxy Tab S9 series, along with most of the AI-powered features from the Galaxy S24.

Yesterday, Samsung released One UI 6.1 to the Galaxy S22, Galaxy S21, Galaxy Z Fold 4, Galaxy Z Flip 4, Galaxy Z Fold 3, and Galaxy Z Flip 3. While One UI 6.1 on the S22, Fold 4, and Flip 4 comes with the same set of Galaxy AI features that we see on newer devices, it is severely restricted on the Fold 3, Flip 3, and S21. These three devices only get one Galaxy AI feature and that's Google Circle to Search.

Why hasn’t Samsung brought the remaining Galaxy AI features, including Live Translation, Chat Assist, Generative Edit, and Browsing Assist, on the Galaxy Z Fold 3, Galaxy Z Flip 3, and Galaxy S21? Well, it could either be because these devices don’t have enough processing power and memory or Samsung doesn’t want to offer Galaxy AI to older devices.

If it is the latter, the brand might be taking that approach because if it keeps bringing new features to old devices, people might not upgrade to a new phone, and that's not something any brand, including Samsung, would want. Still, it's disappointing, and Samsung may have to deal with some backlash because of the decision.

A few days ago, it was revealed that the alarm on several iPhones didn't go off, and many people missed being on time for their work. And in classic Samsung fashion, the company did not miss the chance to troll Apple for this.

Samsung trolls Apple, says alarms on Galaxy phones go off

Samsung UK recently posted a short video (Reel) on its Instagram account, trolling Apple for the iPhone alarm bug. The video shows a cute dog, wearing a hat, dancing to the tune of a remixed version of Samsung's default alarm tone. It also shows the sentence, “Rest assured, our alarms GO OFF,” while the video's caption says, “Samsung users woke up on time today.” This remixed version of Samsung's alarm tone has a nice beat to it, and you can watch it below.

Due to an issue with the iPhone's settings, the alarms are not working correctly. However, not every iPhone is affected by this issue. Apple said it is aware of the problem and is working on a fix to solve it with a software update.

In the past, Samsung trolled the iPhone maker, and that trolling came back later to haunt Samsung. For example, Samsung mocked Apple for removing the 3.5mm headphone jack from iPhones, only to remove the feature from Galaxy smartphones a few years later. Similarly, it trolled Apple for removing the charger from the box, only to remove it from the boxes of Galaxy phones a few years later.

The 256GB version of the Galaxy S24 costs INR 79,999, while the 512GB version costs INR 89,999. You can watch our in-depth review of the Galaxy S24 in the video below.

Meta has announced that it will soon be adding two new features to WhatsApp, the ability to create events in groups and the ability to reply to messages in Community’s Announcements Groups. Let’s take a detailed look at them.

Starting with the first feature, WhatsApp will soon let you create an event in a group, such as a birthday or a get-together. You can add a date and a time to this event. Once you create an event, the app will send it as a message to the group and will also add it to the group’s information page. That’s not all though. People will be able to respond to the event, allowing them to let others in the group know if they are attending the event or not, or share their thoughts about the event. The new feature makes it easier to plan an event with members in a group.

Coming to the second feature, WhatsApp will soon let everyone in an Announcement Group reply to messages in it. Currently, only admins can send messages there, and non-admin members can only read messages in them. The upcoming feature will make Announcement Groups more conversational, and therefore, more useful. What’s even better is that when people reply to a message in it, the app will keep those messages minimized and not notify you about them to make sure that you’re not constantly disturbed by  every message.

Meta says “Events are coming to groups that belong to a Community first, and will roll out to all groups over the coming months.” Unfortunately, the company didn’t say when it will roll out the ability to reply to messages in Announcement Groups.
